Mobile, SIM of victim, accused untraceable

LUCKNOW: The mobile phone of the victim and the SIM card of the accused in the Mohanlalganj rape and murder victim could not be traced, senior officials in the state home department said here on Thursday.

"Police could not recover the stolen SIM card used by the accused and mobile phone of the victim," inspector general Law and Order Amrendra Senger told reporters.

He stated that police had conducted search in the under construction apartment, drain of the village and bushes near the spot but SIM card and mobile phone could not be found.

Regarding the victim family member's demand for a CBI probe into the matter, secretary home Kamal Saxena said no official request was received. "Let the request come," Saxena said.

About contradictions in the post mortem report, officials stated that the report of the inquiry constituted by the chief minister was awaited. Notably, the victim's autopsy report confirms presence of both kidneys, though her family members claimed she had donated one kidney to her husband.

Talking about progress in the inquiry constituted to probe the 'confusion over kidneys', director general health Dr A S Rathore said the relevant details had been gathered from the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences. "The report would be submitted soon," he said.

Kidney issue diluting rape case

Employees and officials at SGPGI have viewed that the gory rape of their contractual staff was lost in the confusion over kidneys. "The authorities must see that confusion does not take its toll on the real case," said a male employee in the department where the victim was posted. Madhu Garg of AIDWA added "police should not be blamed solely. The role of doctors who conducted the post mortem should also be examined and should be punished if they are wrong."
